What a result!. right now a possible hung parliament, but maybe a coalition win of one seat with negotiated agreement of the 3 independents.
The Liberals have a "moral right" to govern, in that they had a higher primary vote than labor. Labor had a preference swap with the greens, and that 2nd preference has helped them to be nearly "over the line". In some places their vote dropped as low as 35% others 38%.
The greens now will have 9 in the senate after July , and 1 in the house of reps. 14%of the vote, and the preferences made them the kingmakers.They are far left, not like the Australian Democrats who were centre -left.
We can look forward to much more instability, and a futher damage to our good investment destination - our reputation. The sharemarket is likely to remain under the 4500 level for sometime.
The USA looks to be in more trouble and the 2nd wave recession is looming. so cut back on your costs, and unecessary spending.
We might see another federal election in 18mths. so be ready.

why bother with politics?
I was asked what motivates Me to stand for the nsw senate COLUMN k.
Meg Explained, " 1. It was that the stimulus money was not given to long term unemployed. That was so unfair.
2. When I sat in a cafe and saw an older woman stealing lettuce and foodscraps from a vacated table.
I bought her a lunch, but I know I didn't do enough, and I know why she was desperate. Even though the pension has been increased,
the cost of affordable housing has increased at a higher rate.Landlords of boarding houses raised their rents so much that pensioners are left with about $30.00 a week to feed themselves.Cheap rental flats are now almost impossible to find. We must fund more public housing, and assist those who stay in their own homes. The stimulus money should have been spent on housing, in particular, social housing. many of hte free standing housing commission homes could be rebuilt as a block of four flats, and giving more people low cost housing. There are many others to be addressed,including climate change, transport and infrastructure, health and education.
:
Both Meg and June are ex Democrats, now independents, and both are concerned for the future of Australia. "We call ourselves the 2 OWLS - 2
older,wiser ladies" Meg said yesterday. You can see our pictures on our blog called Http://megansampson.blogspot.com and on twitter and facebook as both meg4sensampson and Megamoneybox.Meg Sampson stood for Cunningham in 1990 and almost won the seat, missing by
only 1.5%. Both Meg and June have ben interested in Politics for over 30 years, and June is showing her support as a 2nd on the ticket. They are both on low incomes, and therefor have no budget for advertising etc. They have directed the AEC to do a 3 way split ticket, equally between Labor,Liberal and the greens.
Current concerns:Meg says "Gilllard and Swan have painted themselves into a corner, with the Miners RSPT/PRRT. They should have raised the royalties or simply just removed some of the tax deductions. That would then have given the
country more tax income. Instead they did a classic "Pattern Bargaining" technique. Pick a vulnerable company or sector, get an agreement, then take that agreement to others as a blueprint. . goto my http://noresourcetax.blogspot.com to read more. So what sector will be next? Tax on churches and charities?
The election will be 21.08.10, and just a 2.5% swing against labor will translate into defeat. (except for the green vote and swap for 2nd preferences. even so, the greens seem to be taking labor ground rather than liberal national party) Right now we have an angry electorate. especially in the over 65 yrs, ie 20% of the voters. These voters are usually very reticent in changing sides, but right now they are rebelling, like teenagers.
Meg commented, "Everywhere we go on the campaign hustings, older people are now much more vocal. 20 years ago they were loyal, and reluctant to discuss how they would vote. 20 years ago they stuck to their class roots. But not now.
Labor has destabilised the country, (our stable reputation) they have lost the basic Aussie view of fairness, (no stimulus was given to the long
term unemployed!) Labor abandoned the high moral ground on climate change, (yet still announced another talkfest!) They oversaw 4 deaths and more fires in insulation debacle.. PLUS labor condoned a total rip -off in the schools funding... with tuck shops the size of cubby houses and most priced like marijuana mansions! Some costed at $25,000 per sq metre instead of $1,000.00 per sq metre. That won't be forgotten by every P and C forget the waste, when they are asked again to raise funds for school equipment.
Our retirees, superannuates and pensioners will struggle to pay higher electricity costs, and find affordable housing. (over 105,000 people are
homeless each night) We are selling off our houses and farms to overseas owners, while our rising homeless live in their old cars.
Now Labor will even buy back your old car for $2,000.00 but ONLY if you can afford a new one! If they've got an old bomb, it's because
they can't afford a new one! Pensioners will soon be living in their garages or old cars while they rent out the house. Just to make ends meet. Labor
has abandoned all it stood for. Labor is the new Liberals, the Liberals are the new Labor and the greens will be so purist that no one will be able to
use a natural gas heater because it's not renewable. so Vote for Independents first- and for us in Column K in the senate.Then for your other choice. If you simply tick the box for Column K in the senate, the AEC (The Australian Electoral office) will do a 3 way split ticket,
so your vote won't be wasted.
Don't forget that there is no need for pamphlets! The Australian Electoral office will print a booklet with all the preferences and it will
be in the voting booth. Just look at how much paper (and trees) the so-called Green parties will waste! do the right thing, make up your own mind and
refuse a pamphlet! Let's stop the Santa Claus spending! Let's look after our country and it's small businesses, it's poor and the disadvantaged. This is your opportunity to get it right".

so the greens accept huge UNION donations!
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Greens Bob Brown talk at the Press club today
Bob Brown spoke today at the national press club, and emphasised his plan to tax the miners and use that money for education and other causes.
The chances that the greens will hold the balance of power in the senate after Saturday 21.8.10 is very high, and the MRRT/Prrt will be revitalised. He gave the undertaking that he will try to take it further than Julia Gillard, and certainly seems determined.
Meg critised the greens today in saying that: the greens are not sticking to their green platform. They have acccepted donations from the unions which means they are now tied to the unions' demands.
" they haven't even stopped the over- use of electricity in city office blocks at night. All they had to do was to stop or reduce the amounts claimable on tax by 50%. Businesses have been able to claim electricity costs on their tax returns, and
that means that the taxpayer has been funding this shocking waste".
She added,
"1. The Greens have not stopped pamphlets in letterboxes,(they are delivering their own electoral material)
2. The Greens are still going to hand out at polling booths despite knowing that the electoral office
attaches a booklet in the polling booth with all the preferences directed by all parties and groups
3. They have had 3 years to negotiate with labor for a better outcome for climate change and didn't do it.
4. The greens have accepted large donations from unions,(I thought he said 3 million?) despite Bob Brown's pontification that all donations should not be allowed. The federal election is already funded by $2.30 for every vote over the minimum 4% and the greens and the other big parties, will be given that money, as well as having been given donations.
Surely they should have to repay to the government,the donation amount. But I cant see that ever getting past the senate.. they all have their own self interest to protect, rather than the interest of the voters.
5. If the greens do win the balance of power in the senate, it is likely that there will be a double dissolution within 18 months.

re Sedition laws-- not old and outdated.
re Sedition laws: Not old or outdated..
Australian sedition law is the area of the criminal law of Australia relating to the crime of sedition.Effectively defunct for nearly half a century, these laws returned to public notice in 2005 when changes were included in an Anti-terrorism Bill announced by Prime Minister Howard prior to a "counter-terrorism summit" of the Council of Australian Governments on September 27.
The Bill was introduced on November 3 and passed into law on December 6, 2005 after government amendments adding some protection for the reporting of news and matters of public interest were introduced in response to community pressure. The changed laws are to be reviewed in 2006.
Early prosecutions for sedition in Australia include:
the conviction of Henry Seekamp for seditious libel over the Eureka Rebellion in 1854; (how amazing that Julia Gillard is standing in the seat of Lalor Victoria- named after Peter Lalor the Eukeka Hero!)
the conviction of 13 trade union leaders of the 1891 Australian shearers' strike for sedition and conspiracy; and
the action against radical Harry Holland, jailed for two years in 1909 over his advocacy of violent revolution during the Broken Hill miners' strike.
During the First World War Sedition laws were used against those who opposed conscription and war, in particular the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Australia [1]. In 1916 members of the IWW in Perth were charged with sedition including 83 year old Montague Miller, known as the grand old man of the labour movement. Miller was released after serving a few weeks of his sentence but was re-arrested in 1917 in Sydney at the age of 84 and sentenced to six months jail with hard labour at Long Bay Gaol on the charge of belonging to an unlawful association [2].
The Sydney Twelve were all charged and convicted with various offences including sedition.

is Mark Latham guilty of Sedition or not..
Press release:
Wollongong Resident, Meg Sampson , senate candidate for NSW in Col K, said
today, " that she
supports Mark Latham's call to voters to not vote at all. Even though we
could both be charged with sedition. This election has been a sham, and
voters cannot trust labor, liberals or the greens.
The greens lied about not swapping preferences, and then swapped with
labor before other any candidates were known, and you can't trust the
other two leaders.
Experienced Federal election Candidates like myself and Mark Latham, know
exactly how the photo opportunities are manipulated and oppose such
deliberate orchestration.
Australians deserve better treatment."
Meg added that "she doesn't care if she doesn't get any votes, her job
right now is to highlight issues, and to support pensioners, and the
disadvantaged".
she also clarified that she had given a 3 party (lbor, Liberal and greens equally) split ticket to AEC fo rthe preferences

Banks superprofits tax!
With the banks making larger than ever profits, the labor government should have created a bank super profits tax!
The commonwealth bank CEO is paid 9Million a year? and they made a bigger than ever profit!
But it was Wayne Swan who suported them, while they closed people's margin loans as soon as the sharemarket fell, and effectively made many shareholders homeless.
Wayne swan said "the poor banks".
So how much profit are they making on the non interest pensioner accounts? Those accounts that they created to pay no interest, so the pensioner would'nt supposedly owe the government any money!
Banks shoudl be charged a fee for for handling the pensions!

Press Release 3.8.2010
Meg Sampson and June Hinchcliffe have Drawn Column K for the NSW senate.
Both Meg and June are ex Democrats, now independents, and both are concerned for the future of Australia. "We call ourselves the 2 OWLS - 2 older, wiser ladies" Meg said yesterday. You can see our pictures on our blog called Http://megansampson.blogspot.com and on twitter and facebook as both megansampson and Megamoneybox.
Meg says "Gilllard and Swan have painted themselves into a corner, with the Miners RSPT/PRRT. They should have raised the royalties or simply just removed some of the tax deductions. That would then have given the country more tax.
Instead they did a classic "Pattern Bargaining" technique. Pick a vulnerable company or sector, get an agreement, then take that agreement to others as a blueprint. . goto my http://noresourcetax.blogspot.com to read more.
So what sector will be next? Tax on churches and charities?
Soon the electors will send a message. The election will be 21.08.10, and just a 2.5% swing against labor will translate into defeat. Right now we have an angry electorate.
labor has destabilised the country, (our stable reputation) they have lost the basic Aussie view of fairness, (no stimulus was given to the long term unemployed!)
Labor abandoned the high moral ground on climate change, (yet still announced another talkfest!) They oversaw 4 deaths and more fires in insulation debacle..
PLUS Labor condoned a total rip -off in the schools funding... with tuck shops the size of cubby houses and most priced like marijuana mansions!
Some costed at $25,000 per sq metre instead of $1,000.00 per sq metre.
That won't be forgotten by every P and C and the parents. They will not forget the waste, when they are asked again to raise funds for school equipment.
Our retirees, superannuates and pensioners will struggle to pay higher electricity costs, and find affordable housing. We are selling off our houses and farms to overseas owners, while our rising homeless live in their old cars. Now Labor will even buy back your old car for $2,000.00 but ONLY if you can afford a new one! If they've got an old bomb, it's because they can't afford a new one! Pensioners will soon be living in their garages or old cars while they rent out the house. Just to make ends meet. Labor has abandoned all it stood for. Labor is the new Liberals, the Liberals are the new Labor and the greens will be so purist that no one will be able to use a natural gas heater because it's not renewable.
So, Vote for Independents first- and for us in Column K in the senate. Then for your other choice. If you simply tick the box for Column K in the senate, the AEC (The Australian Electoral office) will do a 3 way split ticket, so your vote won't be wasted.
Don't forget that there is no need for pamphlets! The Australian Electoral office will print a booklet with all the preferences and it will be in the voting booth. Just look at how much paper (and trees) the so-called Green parties will waste!
Let's stop the Santa Claus spending! Let's look after our country and it's small businesses, it's poor and the disadvantaged. This is your opportunity to get it right".

what I stand for...Aussie fairness and commonsense
Gillard and Swan have painted themselves into a corner, with the Miners RSPT /PRRT.
They should have raised the royalties or simply just removed some of the tax deductions. That would then have given more tax.
instead they did a classic Pattern Bargaining. goto my http://noresourcetax.blogspot.com
So what sector will be next.
Soon the electors will really send a message.
The election will be 21.08.10, and just a 2.5% swing against will translate into defeat.
They have destabilised the country, (our stable reputation) they have lost the basic Aussie view of fairness, (no stimulus was given to the long term unemployed!)
abandoned the high moral ground on climate change, (still announced another talkfest!)
oversaw 4 deaths and more fires in insulation debacle..
PLUS they condoned a total rip -off in the schools funding... with tuck shops the size of cubby houses and most priced like marijuana mansions,
some costed at $25,000 per sq metre instead of $1,000.00 per sq metre.
That won't be forgotten by every P and C and the parents.
They will not forget the waste.
Our grandchildren will not forget the debt, and the higher tax costs that they will have to pay back.
Our retirees, superannuates and pensioners will struggle to pay higher electricity costs, and find affordable housing. We are selling off our houses and farms to overseas owners, while our rising homeless live in their old cars. Labor will even buy back your old car for $2,000.00 but ONLY if you can afford a new one!

Pensioners will soon be living in their garages or old cars while they rent out the house. Just to make ends meet.
Labor Abandoned all it stood for. Labor is the new Liberals, the liberals are the new labor and the greens will be so purist that no one will be able to use a gas heater or coal fired electricity.. because it's not renewable. Vote for Independents first- and for us in Column K in the senate. Then for your other choice. If you simply tick the box for Column K, the AEC will do a 3 way split ticket, so your vote won't be wasted.
Don't forget that the re is no need for pamphlets. The Electoral office print a booklet with all the preference and it will be in the voting booth. Just look at how much paper (and trees) the so-called Green parties will waste.
Let's stop the Santa Claus spending!
Let's look after our country and it's small businesses, it's poor and the disadvantaged.
This is an opportunity to get it right.

They should have raised the royalties or simply just removed some of the tax deductions. That would then have given more tax.
instead they did a classic Pattern Bargaining. goto my http://noresourcetax.blogspot.com
So what sector will be next.
Soon the electors will really send a message.
The election will be 21.08.10, and just a 2.5% swing against will translate into defeat.
They have destabilised the country, (our stable reputation) they have lost the basic Aussie view of fairness, (no stimulus was given to the long term unemployed!)
abandoned the high moral ground on climate change, (still announced another talkfest!)
oversaw 4 deaths and more fires in insulation debacle..
PLUS they condoned a total rip -off in the schools funding... with tuck shops the size of cubby houses and most priced like marijuana mansions,
some costed at $25,000 per sq metre instead of $1,000.00 per sq metre.
That won't be forgotten by every P and C and the parents.
They will not forget the waste.
Our grandchildren will not forget the debt, and the higher tax costs that they will have to pay back.
Our retirees, superannuates and pensioners will struggle to pay higher electricity costs, and find affordable housing. We are selling off our houses and farms to overseas owners, while our rising homeless live in their old cars. Labor will even buy back your old car for $2,000.00 but ONLY if you can afford a new one!
If they've got an old bomb, it's because they can't afford a new one!
Pensioners will soon be living in their garages or old cars while they rent out the house. Just to make ends meet.
Labor Abandoned all it stood for. Labor is the new Liberals, the liberals are the new labor and the greens will be so purist that no one will be able to use a gas heater or coal fired electricity.. because it's not renewable. Vote for Independents first- and for us in Column K in the senate. Then for your other choice.

I'm greener than green..and the election preferences
I watched the mining industry's valiant efforts in the media recently,
but the Greens senate victory looks a certainty.
While I consider myself green, I'm not a fanatic. I want to see blue gen generators which use gas, and any other cheaper methods used.+solar and wave. Wind turbines seem good but are not the answer unless they are installed in windy areas away from people. I've even planted 18 trees to minimise my footprint and written blogs and articles to encourage people to live simply.
I and and my other independent team member, June Hinchcliffe, nominated
for the senate NSW, and drew col K.We are both older wiser ladies, with university degrees. We can still walk , talk read and write!
We actually gave a 3 way split ticket to each labor, lib and greens equally.
They all knew our intention, that we would "do the right thing",
but none gave us anything below 24th place.
Both of us are on low incomes and using any borrowed money for advertising
is out of the question.
Without funds for advertising, or enough mining companies to re send our
emails and blog info, a win is not probable.
If you go to Anthong greens blog or abc.net.au/elections and study the
senate pref. you will see what I mean.
I have continued working on the http://noresourcetax.blogspot.com and other
blogs, http://megansampson.blogspot.com
twitter and facebook, but right now, with no advertising or meaningful
funds, it looks to me as labor in nsw senate2, libs 3, and greens 1.
Without more effort the greens and Labor will win all the senate seats.
This means disaster for the mining industry. and nationally a greens held
senate.
I have been a political strategist, and cannot see any hope of the miners
defeating the mining tax,
unless they tell voters to vote for specific independent candidates.
(current liberal votes will remain good, but it is the "swinging voters" who
need a voice- (they usually won't cross over to the liberals because of rigid
loyalty or class).
Mining tax ads don't say who to vote for.. therefore they are not
delivering an understandable direction or outcome.
and worse,
Bob Brown is more determined than labor, in making the miners pay more tax.
He sees this issue as a moral victory.
I see it as a moral hazard. and political thuggery and damaging to our
future..
I have done what I said I would do, and I know my continued further efforts
over the next 3 weeks will not deliver the desired outcome, without help.
but I will keep on.
Can you please ask your ad manager to support us in your advertising, and
on-send our email and blog addresess to all mine workers nationally and in
NSW?

Mining Tax is inevitable if green vote rises
The mining tax is inevitable if the green vote rises because Bob Brown sees this as a moral victory,and has the second preferences of labor. while I see it as a moral Hazard.
When our government engages in "pattern Bargaining" (ie force a vulnerable sector or business to an agreement, and then take that agreement to others, then we are in serious trouble. Governments are supposed to consult the electorates, via their members who then vote on the legislation in the lower house, and it is scrutinised and approved in the senate. Private negotiation with the 3 big miners is not democratic and is against the Australian constitution. It leaves the states being unfairly treated, with some states benefiting from the tax changes more than others.
The mining council and others need to tell the voters to vote for independents like myself, who have already been opposing this since it was first announced.
I'm standing for the NSW senate, as part of an unendosed group, independent and have directed our preferences to be split evenly 3 ways. Labor,Liberal,Greens.
